Kanban means “signal board” in Japanese. In manufacturing, such a board is used to visualize increasing rates, which allows you to produce more products at lower costs. A striking example is the approach of Toyota, thanks to which for many years the “just-in-time” principle has been effectively implemented with minimal costs. David Anderson provides an expanded set of those ideas (visualization of the process and work rules, typification of work elements, service classes, cadences, metrics and charts for management accounting and analysis) that define the Kanban method. The book describes tools that allow you to effectively introduce lean manufacturing ideas into technological developments and IT operations with minimal resistance to change and at the same time maintaining an optimal pace for all employees involved in the work. published in Russian for the first time.
